Chapter 368: Fake Goods

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After teasing each other, Yang Ling invited everyone to stay for a few days in Jaboli City. He was brought up to speed about how they were doing as they talked while walking.

It turned out that on the Monston Hunter Association’s branch’s opening day, the streets emptied and multitudes of people came to watch, due to the strong support and promotion by the Wissen Merchant’s Association and Boulade Merchant’s Association.

Looking at the pretty star symbol on the Hunters, and the perceptive Hunter’s guidebook, Lia threw away her Troops card without hesitation and pulled the rest to join the Hunter Association, with a bright future ahead. Just like that, the one and only Dragon Slaying Troop Team had disappeared, to be replace by a Dragon Slaying Small Team made up of Hunters.

After becoming a One-star Hunter, Lia excitedly brought everyone to the forest outside the suburbs to explore, in preparation for future exploration adventures.

When the Magical Beasts Realm released limited edition Magical Beast Pets, Lia even spent a small fortune, using various connections to buy a snow-white Siberian Snow Rabbit. She did not expect Fatso Hans’ Green-skinned Condor to accidentally swallow it into its belly like food, just after having bought it for a few days.

As such, poor Fatso Hans took the blame for his Green-skinned Condor, and forced by Lia, he had to come to the Amazon Forest to personally catch a Peaga Bear as compensation. They did not expect to meet Yang Ling, who was practicing cultivation in the small valley, just after having reached the Amazon Forest after traveling for thousands of miles.

“Miss Lia, the name Dragon Slaying Small Team is not good!” After understanding about the new organization of these fellows including Lia and Fatso, Yang Ling smiled and continued in all seriousness, “You have such a powerful Summoner like Fatso, a strong Archer and Knight, and a mysterious Spellcaster. With such a powerful team, it should at least be called the Dragon Slaying Big Team to fit your status!”

Dragon Slaying Big Team?

After cocking her and thinking, and looking at Yang Ling’s smirk, Lia instinctively felt that something was not right, and knew that he was teasing their team again. But after thinking over it carefully, she also felt that he made a bit of sense. No matter what, Dragon Slaying Big Team definitely sounded nicer than Dragon Slaying Small Team.

“Not bad, we might as well call ourselves the Dragon Slaying Big Team from now on. But, Yang Ling, I want a cute Peaga Bear. The chubby type. You must help me out. If I were to reply on this damn Fatso Hans, I think there might not be any hope even when my hair has turned white!” Lia said and she looked at Yang Ling imploringly.

Magical Beast Pets came from the Magical Beasts Realm. As the Lord of the Magical Beasts Realm, Yang Lin must have a way to get a cute Peaga Bear. How could she let go of such a rare opportunity!

“Hehe, no problem. There’s still a Peaga Bear in the Beast Taming Ground. Come, let’s go to the Lord’s Manor. I’ll get my men to give it to you right away. It’s definitely chubby enough. I can guarantee you’ll be satisfied!” Looking at the beseeching Lia, Yang Ling smiled mysteriously.

To guarantee a big profit, the number of Magical Beast Pets sold were strictly controlled. Most of the low level Magical Beasts were in the Wizard’s Pagoda or the Beast Taming Ground in the Hunter Association. Not to mention one Peaga Bear, even ten or a hundred would not be a problem. But, since Lia liked the so-called cute Peaga Bear so much, he did not mind giving her a pleasant surprise!

“Really?”

Seeing Yang Ling readily agree to her request, Lia, who even dreamt of hugging a chubby Peaga Bear to sleep, was overjoyed. In her joy, she did not notice the mysterious smile on Yang Ling’s face. On the contrary, it was Fatso who was standing at the side, who saw something. His mouth split open in a smile, waiting to see what joke would be played on Miss Lia.

The small valley was not far from Jaboli. After a short time, the heavily guarded Jaboli City appeared in front of them.

Even though it was a short period of time, the with the huge numbers of labor brought from the Magical Beasts Realm itself, there were many experienced and skilled craftsmen. And with huge amounts of ready big rocks and soil, Jaboli was starting to look more and more like a city.

The city walls were over eight meters tall. Every short distance away, there was a Giant Crossbow Vehicle that even Giant Dragons would not dare get near. A faint blue light surrounded the arrowhead made of Star Metal, obviously smeared with a fatal poison. Coupled with a crossbow that was thicker than a thigh of an adult, it looked extraordinarily scary.

On top of each four city gates of North, South, East and West, was a Magic Crystal Cannon, with a range of over ten miles. One cannonball can smash a rock the size of a house to smithereens. It was a fine weapon used to defend cities of Tailun Continent.

Outside of the city walls, was a moat that was full of traps. It was ten meters wide, and five meters deep. Yang Ling had put a few deep sea Giant Pythons in it. Any enemy who came would suffer the consequences.

“Tsk tsk, this is amazing. The defenses are stronger than the Capital, Montson’s!”

“Yes. No wonder you could defeat the Magical Beasts in the Amazon Forest. Looks like the legend of no one being able to build a city in Jaboli is about to become history!”

...

Everyone who just got off the boat and was preparing to go into Jaboli City would stop outside the city for a while and marvel at how strong the Magical Beasts Realm was. Afterall, for hundreds and thousands of years, no matter the Banto Empire or the Church, all met with embarrassing defeats here. But the Magical Beasts Realm was different. With just a few thousand men, they not only stopped the attack of the Magical Beasts, they even scored a perfect victory!

After entering the city, Yang Ling was about the treat Lia, Fatso and gang to a meal. Unexpectedly, the guard Orlando strode over and whispered, “My Lord, after hearing that you had left the small valley, Miss Harribell started waiting for you at the discussion room. She has been waiting for over half a day, and said she has something important to discuss with you. You see...”

Could it be that there was a big change of situation back at the Continent, or...

Puzzled, Yang Ling strode towards the discussion room. As the person in charge of Boulade Merchant’s Association, Harribell was very busy. If there was nothing serious, she would not have come back to Jaboli again so quickly.

In the discussion room, apart from the grave looking Harribell who was dressed in white, there was also a glum looking middle-aged man who was dressed luxuriously. They paced the room anxiously every so often, as if there was something very important.

“His Lordship, I’ve finally found you. You must save me. Or else I’ll go bankrupt!” Seeing Yang Ling striding over, the middle-aged man’s eye brightened, talking while striding over.

Bankrupt?

Could it be that the Wissen Merchant’s Association was loansharking without his knowledge?

After frowning, Yang Ling sat down in bewilderment. With Harribell’s explanation, he soon understood what was going on.

So, after the last batch of Magical Beast Pets had been sold at a high price, Harribell at first wanted to hurry Yuna for another batch of Snow Rabbits and Peaga Bears. She did not expect a merchant named Suzdal to bring over a hundred Vampire Bats to look for trouble.

According to him, he had bought a batch of Vampire Bats from the Magical Beasts Realm three days ago. At first, he intended to use them to guide his sea fleets. Unexpectedly, not only did those bats not listen to command, they even few away and neve came back. Within three short days, he had lost half of over 200 bats, suffering a great loss.

After understanding the situation, Harribell explained that these bats were not a product of the Magical Beasts Realm and did not take it to heart after sending away Suzdal, who looked like he was about to cry. But she did not think that more bad news would come her way.

First, it was the complaint made on the Boulade Merchant’s Association at the Monston Headquarters. It was rumoured that the Boulade Merchant’s Association had sold untamed Peaga Bears which bit a few noble ladies. Straight after, similar news came from big human cities like Bavaria and Mecca, that large numbers of fake Magical Beast Pets were being sold as the ones from the Magical Beasts Realm.

As people did not understand the situation, the merchants who suffered heavy losses and angry nobles all came to the Boulade Merchant’s Association to ask for astronomical compensation. Even though they had nothing more to say after the situation was explained to them, it was already having a negative impact on the reputations of the Magical Beasts Realm and the Boulade Merchant’s Association.

If this this was not resolved, it might have an adverse effect on their plans to domesticate, market and bring the Magical Beasts closer to the people!

Fake goods?

After understanding the situation, Yang Ling shook his head. The pirated goods on this world were as fierce. He had only released his own Magical Beasts for a few days, and fakes were already appearing.

Magical Beasts which were not tamed still had the wild streak. Not to mention scouting the way or looking for mines, it was considered lucky if they did not bite people to death!

“It’s unfortunate. But we are not obliged to recall and compensate the Magical Beast Pets that did not come from the Magical Beasts Realm!” Looking at the pale-faced Suzdal, Yang Ling fell silent. “But, for a case like yours, you could send the rest of the bats to our Beast Taming Ground at our Hunter Association for training. Even though you have to pay a sum of Crystal Coins, but after making some calculations, you might be able to recoup some of your losses!”

“Thank you, my Lord, for your guidance!”

After thinking deeply for a moment and recognizing that this was the best way, Merchant Suzdal thanked Yang Ling and Harribell, said goodbye and left hurriedly, going straight to the Beast Taming Ground in Jaboli’s Hunter Association.

Within this period, Yuna had already instructed the soldiers to build a Hunter Association with a huge area. With facilities like hotels, bars and Beast Taming Ground all available, Hunters need no longer need to go all the way to Wissen Town to accept missions and store Magical Beasts that were not convenient to be brought along.

“Yang Ling, what should we do?” After seeing Merchant Suzdal off, Harribell looked glum and massaged her temples gently.

The profits from selling Magical Beast Pets were simply too big. According to their survey, not to mention greedy troopers and adventurers, even some crooked Hunters within the Hunter Association would secretly sell low level Magical Beasts that they caught under the name of the Magical Beasts Realm. There were even some big deals that involved the nobles of various areas, making it particularly difficult to handle.

“Don’t worry, as long as we strengthen the brand of the Magical Beasts Realm and make it impossible to forge, the problem would naturally resolve itself!” After thinking hard for a while, Yang Ling thought of a solution.

A solution that would create a big stir and thoroughly resolve the problem of forgery!
